One item of note for now: Our Return on Assets formula, using the DuPont model, was Net Income/Sales x Sales/Avg Total Assets. We can expand that into the Return on Equity by extending that model:

Net Income/Sales x Sales/Avg Total Assets x Avg Total Assets/Avg Total Equity

Margin x Turnover x Leverage

A company might be able to increase its returns to shareholders by taking on more debt …by being more leveraged (the debt is used to add more assets, such as through acquisitions). But that carries with it additional risk, as we will discuss.

Assignment 2: Police Psychology Web Resources As you continue your course on Police Psychology, it is important to develop an understanding of the literature and resources that are available to police psychology professionals, particularly electronic resources that can be utilized during this course and in your future work. In order to help you develop this understanding, this assignment will serve five objectives: Develop your skills in conducting electronic data–based searches relevant to police psychology. Develop your ability in summarizing and paraphrasing information from police psychology resources. Develop your skills in critically analyzing the merits—the strengths, weaknesses, scholarly attributes, and potential utility—of electronic resources. Develop your skills further in writing properly formatted in-text citations and references for electronic resources. Develop a set of resources for your future professional work. Search the Internet to locate at least six police psychology web resources that would be useful to a police psychology professional’s practice. You may include peer-reviewed websites as well as peer-reviewed articles. Your web resources should be selected based on the following: Provide information regarding the practice of police psychology. Cover each of the following areas of police psychology (i.e., one site or article for each identified area): Mental health involvement in critical incidents (e.g., hostage negotiations and natural disasters) Pre-employment evaluations Fitness-for-duty evaluations Provision of clinical treatment to police officers Interviewing, interrogation techniques, or polygraph testing Ethical issues when conducting police psychological work Contain peer-reviewed information, sponsored by a reputable scholarly organization. After locating your sources, create a 3- to 4-page Word document containing the following: References to at least six web resources A summary or paraphrased description of each resource Evaluation of the merits of each resource as it pertains to police psychology For this assignment, you should avoid the use of quoted material. Challenge yourself to paraphrase (i.e., place in your own words) the information you find from the web resources. Also, you should rely on sites hosted by organizations (.org), educational institutions (.edu), and governmental agencies (.gov), instead of commercial (for-profit or .com) sites. Be sure to apply current APA standards for editorial style; expression of ideas; and formatting of text, citations, and references. You are encouraged to review information that can be found on APA-style formatting in the Publication Manual American Psychological Association (6th edition). You will find information on citations on pages 174–179. Information on formatting of references starts on page 180, and a discussion of formatting electronic references begins on page 187. In addition, you can also review helpful resources on formatting in the Argosy library: http://literati.credoreference.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/ If you need a more general review of APA style, go to this link sponsored by the American Psychological Association: apastyle.org/. The site has a great deal of information on how to write in APA format. On the Publication Manual tab, you will find a link to a tutorial called “The Basics of APA Style.” This short but informative tutorial addresses major topics in style and formatting that you need to follow. The tutorial contains a sample paper, where you can review proper formatting of citations and references of all kinds. Submission Details: Save your paper as M2_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc.

NEEDS ANSWERS (EACH ANSWER MUST BE 3 BODY PARAGRAPHS):

1. What role does security play during post-disaster or humanitarian responses?

2. What implications does security have on the response?

_____________________

2 POSTS NEED RESPONSES (ONE RESPONSE FOR EACH)

1)

Security plays a vital role in humanitarian response to both manmade and natural disasters. It is provided in various forms during the humanitarian response, such as food and shelter security. Food security helps to ensure that affected populations are provided with the right and healthy food. That is the food provided is nutritionally right in terms of its nutrients requirement. It is also ensuring that the people in great need get the delivered food. Food security helps by establishing monitoring mechanisms to determine the adequacy of the established food rations. This is meant to ensure that food distributed meets needs of the most vulnerable groups like children, elderly, lactating and pregnant mothers (Khan, 2011).

On the other hand, shelter security ensures that the damaged properties are repaired and reconstructed based on the level of damage. This helps to prevent overcrowding and also protects the health of the victims to ensure they don’t suffer from the adverse weather. In addition, security in humanitarian response ensures that first aid is provided to the affected population. And in case of medical attention to the severely injured, the quickest available mode of transport is used. This helps to ensure that more lives are saved (Khan, 2011).

Security has various implications for humanitarian response. Firstly, security during humanitarian response plays a vital role since it helps in saving lives, alleviating suffering and maintaining human dignity. Shelter and food security during the humanitarian response can be achieved via a better preparedness. And this level of preparedness is supposed to involve various factors like risk assessment and contingency planning. Other things are stockpiling of supplies and equipment, standby arrangements and emergency services and communication. It should also involve information management as well as coordination management amongst the involved agencies. This helps them to stay alert and respond fast and accordingly in event of a disaster (Khan, 2011).

Safety and security in humanitarian operations are challenging. Security involves planning, mitigation strategies, and the involvement of the different actors at the local and the international level. Security needs to be provided to the staff, to the affected population, and also to the resources. Security also needs to be provided during staff transportation and even in the lodging facilities. Depending on the country situation, Security measures will be more or less challenging (Peace Corps, 2011). Humanitarian aid workers when they deploy to an international operation can be exposed to different safety and security issues. (Haver, Harmer, & Stoddard, 2011)

Conflict countries

• Suicide bombing
• Kidnapping
• Landmines
• Armed raids
• Sexual violence
• Common crime
• Internationals can be targeted as foreigners and be subject to politically-motivated violence.

Gender and security

The OCHA (2011) report identified that women face more risk than men. especially that was seen in Haiti, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia. In some cases, the presence of female staff added to aid worker insecurity due to local cultural norms that disapprove of women working or being in close proximity to unrelated men. (Haver et al., 2011)

Natural disasters

Consequences of a natural disaster can cause risk to the responders. In a flooding, for example, waterborne diseases, disruption in safe transportation, high risk of electrocution. After an earthquake, the after shakes can cause collapsed of unsafe infrastructure.

General risks

• Property crimes
• Burglary
• Physical assault
• Sexual assault
• Health risks

Ways to improve humanitarian aid workers safety and security

• Have previous knowledge of the country (demographics, language, risks, and common diseases)
• Participate in the security and safety briefing
• Always be aware of your surroundings
• Have medical insurance
• Have required immunizations
• Use personal protective equipment
• Have an emergency plan in case evacuation is necessary
• Create a buddy system
• Don’t expose yourself (don’t walk in the dark alone, don’t bring expensive items to the field)
• Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs, act professionally.
• Agencies can implement mitigation strategies such as armored vehicles, creating local partnerships, community acceptance and trust-building is key. (UNAMI, 2010)

I am currently in a graduate statistics course and being that I am not strong in this type of math when it comes to the calculations and interpreting concepts from it when writing up reports, I would greatly appreciate a lot of help for the following assignment, along with explaining and giving a break-down on how you obtain the following calculations “step-by-step” on the Excel as well.

About Your Signature Assignment

This signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments might be graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is for students to synthesize the concepts learned throughout the course. This assignment will provide students an opportunity to build critical thinking skills, develop businesses and organizations, and solve problems requiring data by compiling all pertinent information into one report.

Assignment Steps

Resources: Microsoft Excel^®, Signature Assignment Databases, Signature Assignment Options, Part 3: Inferential Statistics (all three attached below).

Scenario: Upon successful completion of the MBA program, say you work in the analytics department for a consulting company. Your assignment is to analyze one of the following databases: (my interest is using the “Option 2: Hospital” one).

• Manufacturing
• Hospital
• Consumer Food
• Financial

Select one of the databases based on the information in the Signature Assignment Options. (attached below that is labeled “Option 2: Hospital Database” for the dataset report I would like to work on).

Provide a 1,600 – 1,760 (excluding cover page and reference wording; not to exceed over 10% of total word count of 1,600 (1,600 x .10 = 160 = 1,760) word detailed, statistical report including the following:

• Introduction
• Explain the context of the case
• Provide a research foundation for the topic
• Present graphs
• Explain outliers
• Prepare calculations
• Conduct hypotheses tests
• Discuss inferences you have made from the results
• Conclusion and Recommendations

This assignment is broken down into four parts:

• Part 1 – Preliminary Analysis
• Part 2 – Examination of Descriptive Statistics
• Part 3 – Examination of Inferential Statistics
• Part 4 – Conclusion/Recommendations

Part 1 – Preliminary Analysis (3-4 paragraphs)

Generally, as a statistics consultant, you will be given a problem and data. At times, you may have to gather additional data. For this assignment, assume all the data is already gathered for you.

State the objective:

• What are the questions you are trying to address?

Describe the population in the study clearly and in sufficient detail:

• What is the sample?

Discuss the types of data and variables:

• Are the data quantitative or qualitative?
• What are levels of measurement for the data?

Part 2 – Descriptive Statistics (3-4 paragraphs)

Examine the given data.

Present the descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, variance, CV, and a five-number summary) *Please help provide steps on how to these obtain calculations on this thru Excel*

Identify any outliers in the data.

Present any graphs and charts you think are appropriate for the data.(To present on Word Document report to explain).

Note: Ideally, we want to assess the conditions of normality too. However, for the purpose of this exercise, assume data is drawn from normal populations.

Part 3 – Inferential Statistics (2-3 paragraphs).

Use the Part 3: Inferential Statistics document. (attached below and would be labeled “Option 2: Hospital Database” for the type of industry I would like to work on).

• Create (formulate) hypotheses (help show a step by step breakdown on how to do this and obtain answers based on the formula)
• Run formal hypothesis tests
• Make decisions. Your decisions should be stated in non-technical terms.

Hint: A final conclusion saying “reject the null hypothesis” by itself without explanation is basically worthless to those who hired you. Similarly, stating the conclusion is false or rejected is not sufficient.

Part 4 – Conclusion and Recommendations (1-2 paragraphs).

Include the following:

• What are your conclusions?
• What do you infer from the statistical analysis?
• State the interpretations in non-technical terms. What information might lead to a different conclusion?
• Are there any variables missing?
• What additional information would be valuable to help draw a more certain conclusion?

Format your assignment consistent with APA format for citations and references. Also, please include “subject titles for the research report” and direct web link references that I can also look up the information to read over as well
